WritableServiceBasedNamingStore (jndi) installs a new msc service and waits for it, which could cause deadlocks --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-5523 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5523 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: MSC, Server Affects Versions: 7.1.1.Final Environment: windows 2008 server, single core VM Reporter: Radai Rosenblatt Assignee: David Lloyd class WritableServiceBasedNamingStore installs a new MSC service (instance of BinderService) and then waits for that MSC service to boot - by creating a new listener of type BindListener (an inner class) and calling listener.await() (line 72 in WritableServiceBasedNamingStore.java). i have a @Singleton @Startup EJB which, in its @PostConstruct method calls (new InitialContext().bind(...)), and hits this code. that @PostConstruct method was itself invoked by an MSC thread. the end result looks like this: "MSC service thread 1-2" prio=6 tid=0x000000000e146000 nid=0x960 in Object.wait() [0x000000000f6fd000] java.lang.Thread.State: WAITING (on object monitor) at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method) -

the specific vm this was run on has a single (virtual) cpu, which means the MSC pool size is 2, one of which is now waiting. if two of my @Singletons happen to coincide the server deadlocks and will never finish booting (the thread dump excerpt above was taken just from such a situation)
